You're forgetting the take into account the decreased costs per user of the core features... lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 02/09/2010 09:58:26 PM
...as well as the fact that most of the new features they add do not add much or any value for most of their users.

And perception of value is important. 50 doesn't feel substantially less valuable to me now than it did then, even if, technically, it is. And when it comes to matters of supply and demand perception of value is more important than actual value.

New X-Box Controller, and raising X-Box live prices Brian - 31/08/2010 07:33:03 PM 845 Views
Live prices piss me off Fox and Ravens - 01/09/2010 12:39:47 AM 647 Views
Yeah, PSN might not be as good as Xbox live, but the price is right Brian - 01/09/2010 06:18:12 PM 641 Views
Meh. I don't see why they have the option to twist the pad and make it crappy again. Explain please. *NM* j-whitt987 - 01/09/2010 01:08:30 AM 278 Views
Maybe they wanted to have the same form factor for people who liked the old d-pad? Brian - 01/09/2010 06:18:54 PM 630 Views
That controller doesn't look all that different to me. TaskmasterJack - 01/09/2010 01:46:47 AM 619 Views
Yeah, it's not that much different Brian - 01/09/2010 06:14:46 PM 638 Views

That's what I thought. *NM* ironclad - 01/09/2010 08:27:23 PM 261 Views
The raised prices are BS scalius - 01/09/2010 04:56:55 PM 701 Views
Yeah, they're pretty crappy Brian - 01/09/2010 06:13:22 PM 611 Views
That's the stuff that evens out the console vs gaming PC pricing, IMO. Zalis - 01/09/2010 07:52:19 PM 612 Views
It helps if you look at it from the beginning. Aemon - 02/09/2010 12:01:21 AM 611 Views
Since 2008 we've been flirting with deflation. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 12:34:42 AM 285 Views
Yes, but since 2002 we're still up, non? *NM* Aemon - 02/09/2010 01:20:58 AM 280 Views
Truth, but it doesn't justify a price hike now, per se. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 04:14:31 AM 308 Views
Perhaps I'm being stupid, but why not? Aemon - 02/09/2010 05:34:21 PM 646 Views
I agree, but I like to nitpick. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 09:34:17 PM 281 Views
